The first Good Friday procession in Paola was organised after the Second World War in 1945, with just the statue of the Redeemer (the work of the artist Antonio Farrugia). Two years later the statue of Our Lady of Sorrows was added and the procession remained with these two statues until 1970. Five more statues were added in 1971. 

In 2007 the status of Veronica and Pontius Pilate presenting Jesus Christ to the people (Ecce Homo) were replaced. 2009 will see the replacement of the statue representing Jesus in the Garden of Getsemane. These three status are the works of art of Michael Camilleri Cauchi, the well known Gozitan Artist.

The following is the complete set of the statues which are carried shoulder-high by a number of people during the Good Friday Procession in the Parish of Christ the King, Paola. Details rom some of the statues are also presented to highlight even further the work of art in these statues.
